Getting shot by the IRS sucks.
It's like being shot by anyone else, but instead of being for a cool reason like 'Grand theft auto' or 'mansplaining', the reason a hole has appeared in your liver is just...'wire fraud.'
'Wire...fraud.' The hell is that?

At a glance, this story is about Marcus, self-proclaimed 'tax fraud extraordinaire', who, through his own unfortunate actions, finds himself at the wrong end of an IRS bullet. Upon his untimely demise, he is cast into a new world and stationed at the 'Guild Taxation Authority', working as his own worst enemy — a tax auditor.
Alongside Marcus's grueling work at the GTA, and unbeknownst to most of the world, darkness is looming on the northern border — catastrophe-level monsters are gathering at a rate even humanity's greatest are struggling to match.
Gifted with an affinity for earning EXP, Marcus will have to navigate his own dangerous work and horrible bosses to make time for his side-hustle — saving the world.

I didn't want to bog down any readers with gluggy old 'tax-talk', so the story uses tax fraud and other financial crimes as a backdrop to give the characters their motivations and goals, rather than whipping out a textbook and taking y'all back to Accounting 101. Hope this doesn't disappoint my financially inclined folk, if such a thing exists :)
